I totally understand that. I always love info that brings all of Middle-earth together.

Totally agree. Both sides can get a little over the top with things be it a nonfan, fan, or purist. I think how Tolkien created the races and how Jackson has shown them on screen makes for one of the most ineresting universes on the planet.

I love those choices myself. I'd take any of them to be honest. Only thing I'd add to those is a generic Elf soldier from Mirkwood and Rivendell. Those new elf designs are awesome.
